Day 246 - August 19th

The doctors have decided to take James off all of his antibiotics. As you know, James has been very nauseous and they believe the antibiotics may be the cause. Since he is doing so well and the wounds have healed to a point of being stable, the team believes it is time to remove the antibiotics. This is great news, but they are very cautious and will be monitoring his lab values and will be performing CT scans and MRI's to follow his progress. Please pray that James will do well in this process, that his body will demonstrate that he no longer needs these very potent antibiotics. They have always posed a possibility of side affects which James has never shown signs of - praise God - so we really need to pray that he no longer requires these medications and that he will continue to show signs of progress.
